...proposed Massachusetts amendment, which coalition members expect will be ratified at the May session of the Constitutional Convention, would give the State Legislature the power to outlaw abortion, or at least restrict or terminate both public and private funding...
...using dogs aim to measure the effects of various drugs on high blood pressure. (Presumably such drugs are then to be applied to humans, a dubious step to say the least.) Using intrusive surgery, inflatable cuffs are placed near the heart, and these cuffs may be blown up to restrict blood flow and raise blood pressure. In some cases this causes heart attacks.

This rule, which would most likely have a much greater effect on how trial lawyers practice, especially in undermining the sanctity of the client-lawyer relationship, was passed by the Bar Association...
